A perfect autumn afternoon in Caroline's garden - with social distancing and social togetherness. No feline guests today - but plenty of sunbird activity.
New books include a real life, unbelievable spy story, a very readable exploration of the largest organ in the body - the skin, a social history of Salmon/Gluckstein empire in London (the Lyons Tearooms), a 'new nature writing' style novel set in London and a local collection of stories set in Cape Town's ganster-ridden Eldorado Park.
